SJU Description

Saint Joseph's University is a Catholic and Jesuit university that instills in each member of its academic community: a love of learning and of the highest intellectual and professional achievement; moral discernment reflecting Christian values; and a transforming commitment to social justice. Saint Joseph's is a private Independent and Comprehensive university.

As a Catholic, Jesuit university, Saint Joseph's is committed to creating an ever-improving, all-encompassing educational experience that tends to the mind, nurtures the soul, and promotes a just society. This experience draws life from countless factors, such as the rigor and excellence of the University's academic life, a scholarship underscored by Saint Joseph's being one of only 142 schools nationwide with both a Phi Beta Kappa chapter and AACSB business-school accreditation. It includes a mutually supportive campus life that challenges all students to strive for something more every day. And it is marked by a 150-year-old commitment – by alumni, faculty, students, and staff – to change the world. This is what we mean by Spirit | Intellect | Purpose, a phrase used often to encapsulate the essence of the Saint Joseph's experience.

Saint Joseph's University is located on the western border of Philadelphia, its campus residing in both the city and the suburb of Lower Merion. This unique location combines the best of dynamic Philadelphia with the residential setting of the elegant Main Line. Saint Joseph's 65-acre campus spans two counties, allowing students to enjoy the best of both worlds. The city is easily accessible, while the safety, serenity, and greenery of a suburban campus are right at hand.

AAS degree required for all radiology programs.
